A worker slipped and fell to his death late Tuesday night at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

The incident occurred about 11:30 p.m. at Terminal C, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police said the man was working when he lost his footing and plunged to the ground. He reportedly was working along an elevated portion of the tram track. No other information about the incident was available.

Police said the man, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.

It's the second deadly incident involving a tram in recent years at Bush airport. In October 2010, one worker died and another was injured on the elevated portion of the track near a maintenance facility between the Marriott Hotel and Terminal B.
